Scouts Mom

Team Fortress 2

Last Updated: 04-08-2010

I finally found a use for the beehive wig that I bought from my theatre department for $1 way back when!

This costume was spurred by a sudden, inexplicable Team Fortress 2 binge, and after being a little disheartened that my hair was too long to be a Scout (By far my favorite character), I went to the next best thing and bee-lined straight towards the BLU Scout's mom, as seen in the Valve web video "Meet The Spy".

The whole costume was made in only a few hours, spanning two days, since it's a pretty simple dress and belt. The wig was a tangled mess when I brought it home and so I washed it and de-tangled it which was quite a task. Her headband was purchased, as were the earrings, but the earrings originally had this ridiculous rainbow design printed onto them that I removed with a can of acetone and a lot of scrubbing.

Edit: WHOA NELLY. A HUGE thanks to Valve in all of their amazingness for featuring our photos on the official TF2 blog! You can find the article here: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3683&p=1
